I want to validate JSON input. I know it can be done with a custom directive, but I am not capable of writing it on my own. Now I am trying to do it with ng-change.
my html:
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-xs-12">
<label>Custom data:</label>
<textarea class="form-control" rows="10" name="customData" ng-model="application.customDataString" ng-change="validateJSON()"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
my script
$scope.validateJSON = function () {
try {
JSON.parse($scope.application.customDataString);
} catch (e) {
$scope.applicationForm.customData.$setValidity = false;
}
return true;
}
but I am getting an error: Cannot read property '$setValidity' of undefined
Check this
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('mainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.application = {
customDataString: ""
};
$scope.validateJSON = function() {
try {
JSON.parse($scope.application.customDataString);
$scope.myForm.customData.$valid = true;
// or
// myForm.customData.$setValidity('valid', true);
} catch (e) {
$scope.myForm.customData.$valid = false;
// or
// myForm.customData.$setValidity('valid', false);
}
return true;
}
})
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script data-require="[email protected]" data-semver="1.6.5" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.6.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="mainCtrl">
<div class="row" name="myForm" ng-form>
<div class="form-group col-xs-12">
<label>Custom data:</label>
<textarea class="form-control" rows="10" name="customData" ng-form ng-model="application.customDataString" ng-change="validateJSON(myForm)"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<br>
IS JSON VALID: {{myForm.customData.$valid}}
</body>
</html>
